A plane traveled west for 4.0 hours and covered a distance of 4,400 kilometers. What was its velocity? 18,000 km/hr

olga55 [171]

Velocity is the same as the formula for speed, the only difference is velocity has direction. Velocity is distance over time. Given is 4,400 kilometers travelled west in 4 hours. Applying the given equation, we wil have 4,400/4 = 1,100 km/hr west

A ball is thrown with a speed of 20 m/s at an angle of 40o above the horizontal from the top of a 22-m tall building.

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

(a). The distance is 49.79 m.

(b). The speed of the ball is 24.39 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 20 m/s

Angle = 40°

Height = 22 m

Time = 3.25 sec

(a). We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of distance

$d=u\cos\theta\times t$

Put the value into the formula

$d=20\cos40\times3.25$

$d=49.79\ m$

(b). We need to calculate the horizontal velocity

Using formula of velocity

$v_{x}=u\cos\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{x}=20\times\cos40$

$v_{x}=15.3\ m/s$

We need to calculate the vertical velocity

Using equation of motion

$v_{y}=u\sin\theta-gt$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{y}=20\sin40-9.8\times3.25$

$v_{y}=-19\ m/s$

Negative sign shows the opposite direction.

We need to calculate the speed of ball

Using formula of speed

$v=\sqrt{v_{x}^2+v_{y}^2}$

$v=\sqrt{(15.3)^2+(19)^2}$

$v=24.39\ m/s$

Hence, (a). The distance is 49.79 m.

(b). The speed of the ball is 24.39 m/s.

During electrical storms, a bolt of lightning can transfer 10 C of charge in 2.0 µs (the amount of time can vary considerably).

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Explanation:

charge, q = 10 C

time, t = 2 micro second

Current, i = q / t

i = 10 / (2 x 10^-6) = 5 x 10^6 A

(a)

distance, d = 1 m

the formula for the magnetic field is given by

$B = \frac{\mu_{0}}{4\pi}\frac{2i}{d}$

$B = 10^{-7}\frac{2\times 5\times 10^{6}}{1}$

B = 1 Tesla

Now the distance is d' = 1 km = 1000 m

$B' = \frac{\mu_{0}}{4\pi}\frac{2i}{d}$

$B' = 10^{-7}\frac{2\times 5\times 10^{6}}{1000}$

B' = 0.001 Tesla

(b) The magnetic field of earth is Bo = 3 x 10^-5 tesla

B / Bo = 3.3 x 10^4

B'/Bo = 33.3

In which one of the following situations is zero net work done? A) A ball rolls down an inclined plane. B) A physics student str

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

The work done can be given by the mechanical energy used to do work, i.e., Kinetic energy and potential energy provided to do the work.

In all the cases, except option D, the energy provided to do the useful work is not zero and hence work done is not zero.

In option D, the box is being pulled with constant velocity, making the acceleration zero and thus Kinetic energy of the system is zero. Hence work done in this case is zero.
